Best Islay Whisky

Islay is a small Scottish island off the west coast that punches far above its size in the whisky world. Its distilleries — Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Bowmore, Bruichladdich, Caol Ila, Bunnahabhain and Kilchoman — draw on locally cut peat to produce some of the most distinctive and divisive drams on the planet.

Tasting notes range from iodine and medicinal smoke (Laphroaig, Ardbeg) to gentler fruit and sea salt (Bunnahabhain, Caol Ila). These are the community's highest-rated Islay expressions on Neatly.
